I used a PPA for helping make the KDE 4 Beta 1 packages. It was very helpful in ensuring my packages were correct and able to get other people to test them. There's a few features that PPAs lack compared to SuSE's build service though which would be very handy for the sort of work I'm doing. It should be available for other versions of Ubuntu than the current development version, so we can test packages for -backports etc. (Incidently the documentation talks about the "latest" version of ubuntu, which isn't clear until you try that means the development version rather than latest released version.) More than one archive per person would be handy, it seems excessive to create a new team just for another archive. You should be able to delete packages (I see there's a bug on this already). Finally it should be possible to hide archives from public view somehow. This is likely a minority case, but KDE releases its tars to packagers a week or so in advance of publication so we can make packages and give feedback before it goes public. Having a PPA which could be kept hidden except for a team of people would keep the release managers happy. Jonathan
